011 DeKalb street, between Main
strefet and Little'n livery stable, re
moved and twenty- four inch terra
cotta pipes placed instead of twelve
inch pipes. The twelve Inch pipes

placing larger pipes deeper in the

to eliminate this trouble.
The Chamber of Commerce has
received from Mr. Ryan, of the S. A.

that the schedule on the road will
be changed at an early date and
that It is likely that the schedule

which comes at 10.05 will continue
on its old schedule. The two after
noon trains will pass at 5:30 and

You insure your house or barn as a protection
against fire. You wouldn't insure it in a compa
ny you didn't know was reliable.
PAINT in Hlmply another kind of insurance, a protection
aglnst weather. It eosta a lot more than fire insurance
and It Ib worth a lot more because when you insure . a
building you don't know It is going to burn down. There
isn't once chance In a hundred that your protection is rfeally
going to benefit you.
IP you use good paint you know absolutely that the pro
tection is going to save you a big loss. At least the value
of the building, for it will make it last twice as long. If the
paint isn't good tho protection is worthless, so why shouldn't
you demand the same reliability with your paint insurance
that you do with your fire Insurance. You will get it if you
buy paint from us.
